Overall Impression: This is a nice, rich, black ink with a pleasantly heavy body to it. It even has a slight sheen to it when it dries, like a low luster sumi ink. It's an unusual ink that gets its color from suspended particles of pigment rather than water soluble dye. Be careful leaving it in your fountain pens as it can clog them.
